THEME & ITINERARY
This walk through the capital’s corridors of power examines the destiny and defiance of one of the great names of history: Winston Spencer Churchill was recently voted greatest Briton of all time. His life-span stretches from Bismarck to the Beatles. He had a great historical impact, not just with his leadership during World War II, but right across the 20th century.

One of the first stops looks at Churchill’s relationship with the USA. Churchill did more than any other to forge Britain’s political ties across the Atlantic. In fact, although his father was English, his mother was American. The writer Mark Twain said: ‘that makes him the perfect man.’

The walk then covers the main theatres of Churchill's London life, from childhood in St James's, marriage in Westminster and war in Whitehall. We find out that he seriously misjudged some policies: Dardanelles, India, the abdication of Edward VIII, for example. But we also reflect that his faults were outweighed by achievements, in particular his political plate-spinning in keeping two of history’s greatest monsters at bay, Stalin and Hitler.

At Westminster we discuss his ultimate legacy: some might argue world peace, others warmongering. Regardless, he remains eminently quotable, one of his most relevant lines being: ‘History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.’

You will be escorted personally on your walk by an officially qualified Blue Badge London guide. At the end of the walk there's an option to visit the highly recommended Churchill Museum & War Rooms (entry fee extra).
